Breakout board, Relays on board?

[Cooper]

Dear All,

I need an opensource breakout board for my cnc. I appreciate Pminmo's breakout boards and i succesfully used 4 axis and 5 axis boards but now i need a board that have relays on board and screw terminals on it (instead of pin terminals) Is there any board around here or should i need to draw it again? If there is any eagle file around, i can modify and open its sources
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't recommend putting relays in that interface arena. Mechanical switching heavy loads is an emi nightmare. Kind of like putting a blindfold on and walking through busy streets, and hoping everybody will avoid you. Why would you do something that potentially will cause step insertion or loss issues and ruin a part. Put the relays away from open logic signals and wiring. Thats what the aux channels are for, to drive relays off the board. And preferably use a ZERO crossing SSR to switch ac signals.

It is not open source but I think they have a great board with relays on it. Try dtllc.com and look on the right side of the page for item # DB25RBOB

If you have ever seen the EMI on a scope montoring logic lines when a mechanical relay switches, you would understand how big a no-no that is!

Here is a link to make a discrete solid state relay:

Dear Pminmo,

Do you have screw terminalled version (instead of pin header version) of 4 axis interface? I need to connect seperate cables on step, dir, enable pins, so i need screw terminals. Is there any version of this board like this? If not and if you let, i can prepare and share it.

Cooper,
Why not just solder 22ga wires to the pads you need where the pin terminals would go? If you want a disconnect use simple automotive spade lugs in line.

Hehe, i'm a symmetry patient and i'm ready to draw pcb for screw terminals
Btw, i saw miniature ssr on somewhere which is rated 250V 2A. Did you use that before pminmo?

Dear All,

I would like to thank you Phill, to draw screw terminalled version for me. Phill, you are the kindest guy, i've ever met in this forum. I'm very faithful right now.
Thank you very much again.!

hi guys
i ask for help , i have to design and fabricate a bob ( interface circuit between mach3 and 3-axes milling machine with linear encoders and DC sevo motors take more than 3A in start [ peak transient area of current may reach more 15A] ) it's first time to me to deal with mach or any software like this so i need help to do it soon , i have to prepare design in one week to send it to my professor
thanks guys

Wow yours is the first "wiki" I've edited I can now make the SSR for my latest BOB equipped project :beer: now I just need to figure out how to make it switch a load As always it's great seeing the work you do

The DB25RBOB has relays on it and they will not interfere with your logic signals. The relays are turned on and off with devices that have protection from such EMI issues. I have sold many of these and have had 0 complaints. I also offer free tech help on my products if you need help e-mail or call me:
